    Dave, A Beader can show you. It is a more professional way of
    finishing the connection between the last bead and the clasp. 

    Essentially, it is a very fine coil of either silver or gold wire. A
    small piece of it is cut off and strung on the cord, silk, linen,
    whatever next to the clasp. It forms a circle over the base of the
    clasp giving the connection a much finer look than the plain cord or
    bead cup link between the clasp and bead. 

    Takes a bit of finesse to get used to using it. I quite understand
    the desire to find this in fine silver or gold. Base metal is not
    appealing. I have long wished for the same. 

HTH,
Teresa
